ChatGPT helped plan a school shooting, according to a new lawsuit from the mom of a girl critically wounded in the attack.
Jesse Van Rootselaar killed her mother and 11-year-old half-brother, then went to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School where she killed 5 students and a teacher’s aide, wounded two students, and shot herself.
ChatGPT provided “information, guidance and assistance” to carry out such an attack, according to the suit.
The lawsuit also says “approximately 12 employees” of OpenAI spoke up before the shooting and recommended that police be called.
It says the concerns were “escalated to leadership” but “rebuffed.”

hey @nikitabier, this is a hail mary, but my partner and co-host @deepimpactcrier has been hacked. x support has so far been unresponsive, unhelpful in regaining access. hoping you or someone at x can help us resolve the issue and restore her access. 🙏
